Have recently looked at & got a price on an off-road 13" pop-top.
Looking for comments on the van & suitability for "soft off- road" use. Tow vechicle is Prado TD.
Particularly looking for comments on the
suspension

Perhaps you mean 13' and not 13"(inches)
LOL
Would help get an answer if you described the type of
suspension it has.
More info = better answers.
Cheers

Thanks Graham,

Hi We have a 19ft Evernew and have been on some pretty rough tracks. When I first spoke to Bruce, "I want a van I can take up a dirt road without shaking to pieces". The reply was "you wont shake our vans to pieces". Like all off road/dirt trak travel if you drive to the conditions everything will be fine. I'm sure you will not be let down by an Evernew.

We too have an Evernew offroad poptop (16') and are very happy with it,has been offroad and no problems at all., they are built extremely stong. Bruce also assured us we would have no problems with its strength to handle off road conditions. Provided you take care and drive to the road conditions you wil have years of great caravanning. We tow ours with a Toyota Hilux diesel dualcab.

Hi Peter & Pos, & Racey
Thanks for your replies - good to get
feedback from owners. Deciding on what van to buy is a HUGH decision for me - at this stage of my life I can't afford to make a bad financial decision.
What extras did you include or have you added for stays in non-power sites ??? - we were thinking of wiring for solar - outside shower - 2nd battery in van and in tow vechicle - any
feedback would be appreciated.
Cheers
